This video captures settlers beating Heidi. They clubbed her, kicked her. Pulled her up off the ground to beat her more. Robbed her of all her equipment. If she didn’t have a helmet—and if she was Palestinian—she could be dead.

URGENT: Since yesterday, Israeli settlers, backed by occupation forces, have been besieging a Palestinian family in Wadi al-Rakhim. Dozens are surrounding the home, trapping the family inside

This is a growing tactic used to pressure Palestinian families into leaving their homes

Documents obtained exclusively under Freedom of Information laws for @DeclassifiedAus by @KellieTranter last year reveal that a confidential “running commentary” on plans for ‘ethic cleansing’ of Gaza was being provided to Prime Minister Albanese internally from within the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT).

Albanese had explained his silence to reporters, when asked about President Trump’s plans to “take over Gaza”, by saying he would not be offering a “running commentary” on President Trump’s remarks. 

But cables were being sent between Washington and Canberra in relation to the Trump Administration’s position on Gaza and the ‘routine information only’ cables read exactly like a ‘running commentary’.

The advice provided by DFAT to the Prime Minister about the intended fate of the Palestinians of Gaza included: 

•President Trump talking about “cleaning out” Gaza.

•Trump elaborating his Gaza plan to clarify that Palestinians would not be able to return to Gaza after being relocated elsewhere.

•Trump urging Jordan and Egypt to “take on” about “a million and a half” refugees from the territory.

•Incoming US National Security Agency (NSA) chief Mike Waltz talking about Israeli ‘achievements’ in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.

•The President refusing to rule out deploying US troops to remove the Palestinians.

• Trump stating “we’re gonna take over that piece [Gaza] and we’re gonna develop it.. the Riviera of the Middle East”.

•President Trump’s threats to cut aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused his demand to permanently take in most Palestinians from Gaza.

EXCLUSIVE: DOCUMENTS REVEAL AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER’S KNOWING SILENCE TO PLANS FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING OF GAZA

This Labor government is the Ed Sheeran of Australian politics, @amyremeikis writes.

"On every issue, Labor has done the least it can do."

"The ‘tolerant’ attitude Sheeran tried to preach in excuse for kowtowing to Zionist power – under the guise of being ‘apolitical’ and centrist, but which in reality just keeps the bully class comfortable and in control – is also how Labor handles power."

David Pocock calls out the major parties for rejecting proposed Red Lines reform which seeks to protect taxpayers from funding illegal wars including Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“It shouldn’t matter where these crimes are being perpetrated…whether they are allies or not!”💥

[Jewish Council of Australia @jewishcouncilAU]

Proud to join our allies launching the Red Lines Package at Parliament yesterday – a suite of 4 bills that would ensure Australia doesn’t fund, arm, or invest in illegal settlements, war crimes, or genocide. Urge you MP to show their support: https://t.co/G92VfaimO2

I can’t believe we’re not joining France, Canada and the UK in banning trade with settlements on West Bank. All are entirely illegal under int’l law and as many Israeli leaders themselves say, the settlers are committed to ethnic cleansing. No one gives us credit for holding back

@SharazDavid @GetUp Fantastic news! Thanks for listening @Coles to everyone who is sick of constant surveillance, particularly by immoral companies like Palantir.

Extraordinary speech by Richard Flanagan. Right up to the final word.

[Deepcut News @deepcutnews]

Esteemed Australian author Richard Flanagan delivered a powerful speech at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas warning of a new McCarthyism, accusing Israel of "seeking to silence" Australians with the slur of antisemitism.

"The ways in which the Segal report can deeply damage our democracy are frightening to ponder."

"We are free and we must not surrender that freedom. Yet, it is under attack and we must now fight for it."

We have published the full text of the speech.👇️

People love Human Rights Acts but Governments hate them. I wonder why?

The ASIO bill being rammed through this chamber in the next 2 hours gives you one very solid example.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: ASIO no. 2 is being rushed through parliament this week.

This is the bill that allows warrantless questioning by ASIO, without a lawyer, and you can't tell a soul without being sent to prison.

Share this widely and make some noise.
